Song Of The Wandering Aengus

	  		



Intro: Am 

                        C 
I went out to the hazel wood 
          G              Am 
Because a fire was in my head 
                             C 
And I cut and peeled a hazel wand 
             G          Am 
And hooked a berry to a thread 


               C                 Em 
And when white moths were on the wing 
              Am                    F 
And moth-like stars were flickering out 
            Am         C 
I dropped a berry in a stream 
             G             Am 
And caught a little silver trout 


                          C 
When I had laid it on the ground 
          G              Am 
I went to blow the fire aflame 
                             C 
And something rustled on the floor 
            G               Am 
And someone called me by my name 


         C                 Em 
It had become a glimmering girl 
           Am              F 
With apple blossoms in her hair 
              Am             C 
She called me by my name and ran 
             G                  Am 
And vanished in the brightening air 


Instrumental: Am    G  Am    G  Am 


                           C 
Though I am old with wandering 
               G               Am 
Through hollow lands and hilly lands 
                              C 
I will find out where she has gone 
             G                 Am 
And kiss her lips and take her hands 

          C               Em 
And walk upon the dappled grass 
               Am                 F 
And pluck 'til time and times are done 
           Am            C 
The silver apples of the moon 
           G             Am 
The golden apples of the sun 
                         C 
The silver apples of the moon 
           G             Am 
The golden apples of the sun
